Top 10 Mac Eye Shadows...

I can always trust my Mac palettes and reach for them the most out of my collection. I love the practicality of them all being in a slimline palette and the overall quality of shade and texture.

Here are my favourites....


I chose them based on which 10 I would repurchase immediately if god forbid *panic* my palettes disappeared.

Here they all are swatched:


Top Row: Ricepaper, Naked Lunch, Woodwinked, Romp, Cork
Bottom Row: Vellum, Sumptuous Olive, Humid, Steamy, Club.

  • Ricepaper - This is my ultimate favourite inner corner highlight, it adds a beautiful pale golden sheen that compliments my complexion perfectly.
  • Naked Lunch - A gorgeous pink toned champagne colour that works great all over the lid on lazy days and to highlight and illuminate tired eyes,
  • Woodwinked - An easy everyday all over lid colour that you can blend into the crease for a quick polished look, the bronze/gold sheen adds intensity without much effort for a glowy look.
  • Romp - A beautiful warm bronze shade that you can never go wrong with, it just looks amazing whenever I wear it combined with ANY colour.
  • Cork - This is my everyday crease colour, I can layer it for intensity or just blend a tiny bit for a softer day time look.
  • Vellum - I absolutely love this on the inner corners of my eyes, it's a white with a slight blue/lilac sheen which really brings out the green/hazel in my eyes.
  • Sumptuous Olive - This is just a beautiful way to wear colour without overdoing it, it's the perfect olive green with hints of gold.
  • Humid - My favourite green, me and the hubs picked this out together so it makes me feel good when I wear it, it just adds a beautiful green sheen that compliments my complexion and enhances them, I love combining it with darker colours in the crease for a night time smokey look.
  • Steamy - I like to wear this mainly on my lower lash line with a more neutral colour on top, but I like it on the lid combined with something like 'Carbon' to smoke it out for an evening look.
  • Club - This is the colour I opt for if I'm in a rush and want a quick smokey look, it has a duo chrome finish with hints of teal and brown, it's definitely one to check out.
What are some of your favourite Mac eye shadows?

Oh btw I dyed my hair darker, my comp has been messing up and I'm behind on everything and no I haven't given birth yet! X

I want to try Romp, Naked Lunch and Rice Paper, they look lovely! I'm hoping to get a Mac Palette soon so I can depot some of my existing colours :) My favourites are Woodwinked and Coppeing! xxx
That's the first time that I've seen a swatch of Woodwinked and liked it, usually it looks just ok. It's now on my list. My top favs would include patina, satin taupe, brulee and omega.

oooh i love all the colours x
I agree, Woodwinked has such a universal shade! Good for brides, a bronze look, a neutral look - multitask! A great choice of eyeshadows. (:
